Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday’s webinar on Riak and Python. If you missed the webinar, we’ve got you covered. Find a screencast of the webinar below, or check it out directly on Vimeo. Sorry that it’s missing the questions I answered at the end. I recapped the questions in written form below to make up for it.

We made the slides available for your viewing pleasure as well. But most importantly, have a look at our Python library for Riak, which got a lot of feature love lately, and at the source code for Riagi, the sample Django application. It utilizes Riak for session and file storage, and Riak Search storing user and image metadata.

Thanks to dotCloud for providing the hosting for Riagi. A little birdie told us they’re working on supporting Riak as part of their official stack soon.

The Python client for Riak wouldn’t exist without the community, so we want to say thank you for your contributions, and we’re always ready for more pull requests!

Keep an eye out for a new release of the Python client this week, including several of the new features shown in the webinar!

What’s the best way to start off the week? With an awesome presentation from some very talented engineers about building a Riak-backed service.

This video, which runs about 40 minutes, was recorded last week at the San Francisco Riak Meetup and is worth every minute of your time. Coda Hale and Ryan Kennedy of Yammer give an excellent and in depth look into how they built “Streamie”, why Riak was the right choice, and the lessons learned in the process.
